NET NAME - Cannot add a name. Windows 2000 Pro.

[thirdlegstump]

Trying to add a username to a machine using NET NAME add "userID" as only the hostname appears on the list of available Messenger names but it won't go through. Any ideas?

"net user username /add"

Put /domain if you want it added via the domain controller. For more options and explainations do "net user /help"

To clarify, the user account already exists in the domain and the user can log on-off the network. When I enter NET NAME on the local host computer, it should display that physical computer hostname + the currently logged in NT username. Problem is that it only shows the host name and not the NT user name.
